[Verse 1]
E          D         E       D
I guess I'm traveling my last mile
E           D  E                D
Don't feel like I've got a place to go
E           D    E      D
Just been here thinkin'
E       D                         E      D
If I got somethin' in this life to show

[Chorus]
A                        B
But I go through life the best way
E              D            A
And when people ask me how I know
E                  A  Gdim       E   Ab G Gb E Esus4
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
E                  A  Gdim       E   Ab G Gb E Esus4
I just tell them my Jesus told me so

[Verse 2]
E           D    E         D
You hear a lot of stories
E          D  E               D
About the life you're supposed to live
E        D         E      D
All the sins you've done
E         D          E      D
The good Lord will forgive

[Chorus]
A                        B
But I go through life the best way
E              D            A
And when people ask me how I know
E                  A  Gdim       E   Ab G Gb E Esus4
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
E                  A  Gdim       E   Ab G Gb E 
I just tell them my Jesus told me so

[Bridge]
A
Maybe I'm wrong
Gdim
Nobody knows for sure
E                      Db         Gb    Fmaj7
But I live my life that old gospel way

[Instrumental]
E  D  E  D  E  D  E  D

[Verse 3]
E       D   E            D
Well I guess I'll soon be dying
E          D
Just like a river
E                 D
Somewhere it stops to flow

[Chorus]
A                     B
But I know I'm right about life
E              D            A
And when people ask me how I know
E                  A  Gdim       E   Ab G Gb E Esus4
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
E                  A  Gdim       E   Ab G Gb E Esus4
I just tell them my Jesus told me so

[Outro]
E                  A             Gdim
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
E            A              Gdim
He's the only one who really knows
E                  A             Gdim
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
E            A              Gdim
He's the only one who really knows
E                  A             Gdim
I just tell them my Jesus told me so
         E               Gb
I'm gonna look ‘em in the eyes
                    A             E
And tell ‘em Lord my Jesus told me so
